frY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE
Arp.xy. NAV lO-After Mr.. Arnold had heard.the
Governors message veoing the constitutions Io
yention bill read he said other bill on this subject
wonld be introduced or acted on by the Republicans
The reasons assigned by the Governor Tor bis veto
were such as render it impracticaoe 10 pass OH
that he would sig 4. The Governor would now be lei
IN take the responsibility Tor multiplying the vote oil
,, fall directing a convention to be held. Many ct
bis affections were trivial and manitestly put IN
to fill up the message.
Mr.. Arnold said with reference to the governor
objection to the Assembly district representation tnat
the Judgment OF the Legislature could v ell be set
ogoinst that of the Governor Representation BIZ Con-
pressona districts would be unfair to the Repubh-
can Marty az the Assembly district representation
could possibly be to the Democrats. Mr. Arnold
thought Governor Hi objected particularly 10 INC
failure OF the bill to make provision for special labor
representation in the convention. III this had peeu
nrovided for the Assembly district representation
might have passed muster Ia the Executive Chamber,
for the labor vote in the convention, whether more OF
less would be cast with the Democrats on any paru
san question thus securing control oil inc convention
TO the Democrats.

session TO pass Constitutional Convention BILL as nc
did in the case of the question: are consoereu
